Interim Financial Results for the six months ended 31 December 2006
15% increase in revenue
15% increase in net profit
11% growth in headline earnings per share
COMMENTARY
Group
Aspen increased both revenue and net profit after tax by 15% for the six months
ended 31 December 2006, to R1,936 billion and R332 million respectively.
This translates into growth of 13% in earnings per share to 95,3 cents as
the weighted average number of shares in issue rose as a consequence of the
issue of 2,6 million ordinary shares in terms of the Aspen share incentive
schemes. Headline earnings per share of 95,6 cents represents an 11%
increase.
South African operations
The South African business produced satisfactory results, growing revenue 11% to
R1,550 billion and earnings before interest, investment income, tax and
amortisation ("EBITA") by 16% to R493 million. These results were achieved
despite the sale of 50% of the equity in Fine Chemicals Corporation (Pty)
Ltd ("FCC") midway through the prior financial year. As a consequence, only
half of the results achieved by FCC are consolidated into the results for
the current period. Furthermore, the comparative period EBITA has been
reduced by a R14 million write down in the fair value of FCC.
The Pharmaceutical Division performed well, growing revenue by 14% despite the
inclusion of only 50% of FCC. On a like-for-like basis revenue growth was
21%. Finished dosage form ("FDF") revenue increased 21% through organic
growth supported by recent product launches. This growth was generated in
the private market, as the public sector business was flat, given that it
is the second year of a two-year tender cycle. The generic market in South
Africa continues to be highly competitive with international generic
companies increasing their interest in the market. Aspen has nevertheless
managed to improve its generic market share over the six months (IMS data
reflects at 35% market share for the twelve months to December). FDF
margins remained under pressure, particularly with the weakening of the
rand against import currencies over the past year. The price increases
permitted by the Department of Health ("DoH"), relieving the price freeze
implemented by the regulator based on 2003 average prices, only became
effective after the period end.
Revenue from FDF antiretrovirals ("ARVs") increased by 66% from R104 million to
R173 million. Growth in the offtake of ARVs in the South African public
sector has been particularly strong, reflecting increasing momentum to the
government`s programmes. The South African government tender for ARVs is
due for re-award in the first half of 2008.
FCC, the active pharmaceutical ingredient ("API") manufacturer, matched the
strong first-half performance delivered in the prior year at both revenue
and operating profit levels. The weaker rand and a strong export order book
should assist in maintaining this momentum.
The infant nutritional range has consolidated the substantial gains made in the
prior year, but the rate of revenue growth slowed. This contributed to
slower revenue growth in the Consumer Division, where revenue increased 6%
to R432 million. Profit margins have however improved as a consequence of
cost curtailment.
High production output has been maintained as stock levels have been raised to
ensure optimum service. An upgrade of the heritage manufacturing facility
in Port Elizabeth is at an enhanced stage of planning. The upgraded
facility will provide enhanced technologies and capacities. Construction of
the sterile facility, which is designed to United States Food and Drug
Administration Standards, is on track. Initial validation of this facility
is planned for the beginning of 2008.
International operations
Aspen`s international operations increased revenue by 31% and EBITA by 51%. This
was achieved despite a poor performance from Co-pharma Ltd, but with the
benefit of the inclusion of Astrix Laboratories Ltd ("Astrix"), the India-
based API joint venture which commenced business in January 2006.
Aspen Australia Pty Ltd recorded revenue of R259 million, an increase of 24%,
whilst improving EBITA by 36% to R37 million. Both Pharmaceutical and
Consumer Divisions showed robust growth with the Consumer Division
benefiting from new product additions.
Aspen Resources Ltd, the United Kingdom-based intellectual property and sourcing
company, produced another positive performance, raising EBITA by 32% to R29
million. Co-pharma Ltd returned a small loss despite increased volumes.
Astrix, which specialises in ARV APIs, increased its contribution to gross
revenue from R67 million in its first six months of trade to R80 million.
The largest portion of this increase was attributable to trade with Aspen.
Investment income, finance costs and cash flows
Interest paid, net of interest received, has increased from R19 million to R34
million. Rising interest rates and higher borrowings due to increased
levels of working capital are the major influences. Fair value losses on
financial instruments, the consequence of the currency strengthening
against forward exchange contracts, amounted to R17 million (prior year R1
million). This was partially offset by foreign exchange gains on foreign
currency-denominated supplier and customer balances of R14 million (prior
year R2 million).
Net cash generated from operating activities of R161 million was less than
earnings of R332 million as working capital increased by R287 million.
Whilst stock levels have increased, this has been in line with trading
activity except at Astrix, where stock levels have been raised in
anticipation of ARV demand. Debtors` days have been extended, impacted by
longer settlement terms on the growing export book. The value of creditors
decreased, influenced by buying patterns, mix and cut-off.
Prospects
All of the key business units are performing well. Aspen maintained its leading
position in the South African generic market despite intensified
competition. Continuous focus is given to the South African pipeline, which
remains a rich source of future product launches. The DoH has provided
greater clarity on pricing in the South African pharmaceutical market by
establishing a mechanism for annual price increases which takes
consideration of the changing economic fundamentals to which the industry
is exposed. Aspen implemented the 5,2% increase permitted by the DoH in
January 2007. This will go some way to relieving the pent-up margin
pressures caused by cost inflation and exchange rate weakness over the
extended period when price increases were prohibited. However, the
legislative environment for pharmaceuticals remains uncertain. The
regulator has invited comment on the proposed international benchmarking
legislation. Given the proposed structure of this legislation it is not
possible to evaluate the potential impact until greater clarity has been
achieved in respect of originator products. Aspen is confident that the
regulator will take due consideration of pertinent factors raised in
comment by the industry.
Aspen`s ARV offering continues to expand by product and territory providing
scope for further strong growth in this life-sustaining treatment category.
Viread and Truvada, originator products which are leading second-line
treatments, will both be launched into African markets before the end of
the financial year.
Growing capacity utilisation in the oral solid dose ("OSD") production facility
will lead to enhanced production efficiencies. Opportunities to provide
manufacturing services from the OSD facility for multi-national
pharmaceutical companies are under consideration. There has also been
substantial international interest in the production capabilities offered
by the sterile facility, which is due to commence commercial production
towards the end of 2008. Aspen has already concluded a long-term agreement
for production from the sterile facility, with a subsidiary of Prestige
Brands Inc., a leading supplier of eye drops in the USA and Canadian
markets.
As has been previously communicated, the current year is one in which Aspen is
focusing on the consolidation of past gains and on establishing the
platform for the implementation of growth strategies through to the end of
the decade. The benefits of these initiatives should be reflected in the
results of future financial years.

report and the finalisation of the annual financial statements for the year
to June 2007.
